Neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients have attracted the interest of the scientific community, yet their mechanisms remain unknown. In some circumstances, the presence of neurological manifestations may result in an incidental diagnosis after a detailed investigation. In the present letter, we discuss a case published by Demir et al., in which the diagnosis of COVID-19 enabled the diagnosis of a rare neurological disorder, characterized by bilateral brain calcifications, commonly known by the eponym Fahr’s syndrome. In addition, we report a case of primary brain calcifications unveiled by a suspected coronavirus infection.

COVID-19 揭示大脑钙化
COVID-19 患者的神经系统症状引起了科学界的兴趣,但其机制仍然未知。在某些情况下,神经系统表现的存在可能会在详细调查后导致偶然诊断。在这封信中,我们讨论了 Demir 等人发表的一个案例,其中 COVID-19 的诊断使我们能够诊断出一种罕见的神经系统疾病,其特征是双侧脑钙化,通常以同名法尔综合征而闻名。此外,我们报告了一例疑似冠状病毒感染揭示的原发性脑钙化病例。
